Before the chains, there were kingdoms. Cities of stone and wood, rivers that carried songs of ancestors, and forests that whispered the laws of the spirit. These were not mere lands; they were schools of resistance, libraries of survival, and for the ones who would one day become Maroons, they were the first blueprint of freedom. From the Akan to the Mandé, from the Yoruba to the Congo, the memory of autonomy flowed in veins long before the Middle Passage claimed bodies.

Before the chains, there were kingdoms. Cities of stone and wood, rivers that carried songs of ancestors, and forests that whispered the laws of the spirit. These were not mere lands; they were schools of resistance, libraries of survival, and for the ones who would one day become Maroons, they were the first blueprint of freedom. From the Akan to the Mandé, from the Yoruba to the Congo, the memory of autonomy flowed in veins long before the Middle Passage claimed bodies. The Maroons carried this memory like a flame, hidden beneath the weight of iron and saltwater, waiting for the moment to ignite again.
This was the introduction to my spirituality and learning how to do things for myself. The extension of help I gift to others could only come from the capacity in how I've helped myself. It was then, I understood that as a human, experiences were needed for growth and this growth can only sprout from branching out of my comfort zone. At the end of it all, I wanted to build something more meaningful by planting seeds from the darkness of life, to watch it grow and spread among different people, thus generating light. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will die one day and in no way, would I want there to be any regret for making the same decisions the masses believed to be the right ones, meanwhile neglecting my gift as the last choice. After all, the goal in this life, my life, is to express this consciousness healthily.
